Dear Emily,

Sorry it's taken me so long to write to you but at last I put pen to paper to explain why I haven't returned that DIY book I borrowed from you.

To be honest, I've been feeling so guilty that I delayed writing to you. I have to own up that I damaged the book accidentally. I'm so very sorry. I know how important that book is to you as it was passed down from your late father.

What happened is that I had been reading up on the chapter about DIY plumbing when I knocked over my cup of coffee which splashed all over the book. Most of the stain is on the pages that were open at the time.

I've sent the book away to be repaired. I didn't realise that was even possible until I researched it. Anyway, it should be as good as new when I get it back next week and then I'll send it on to you.

Again, I'm so sorry for the delay in telling you. I hope you can forgive me.

Best wishes

Sarah
